Prescott was the glue that held the Labour Party together under Blair, ironing out internal problems, particularly between Blair and Brown.

Of course he will long be remembered for the punch he threw (and landed) at the protestor who had 'egged' him. One of the best cases of instant 'Karma' i have ever seen.

RIP John Prescott

At least he was real.

[Tilly2]

He was big, bold, brash and brave. 

[youngmafbog]

A man that at least stood by his values (apart from the Lord maybe) and called a spade a spade.  

And a terrific left hook. 😀

RIP John.

Two Jags for the funeral then.

[Khandro]

Bye bye 'Two Jags'   R.I.P.

[ToraToraTora]

Good old thumper, RIP.

[rowanwitch]

One of the last you felt you could believe, even if you didn't agree with him.

[ToraToraTora]

2 Jags went right up in my estimation when he thumped that idiot who threw an egg at him.

[Pete65]

Rest easy, Mr Prescott.

[Blubster]

He was a proper Labour MP, not like this lot.

[ToraToraTora]

TBF he was the token lefty in Tory Lite.

[drmorgans]

I think you mean southpaw.

Ken, I do so agree. That was a true reflex and he went up in my estimation. He loved his Pauline to bits. RIP.

[ToraToraTora]

remember when he got into hot water when they took the jag a short distance so they didn't mess up Pauline's hair!
